Which is exactly why I feel that electing him to the most powerful office in the world prior to him establishing a decent voting record would be a critical error.
If he's a solid candidate beyond all the hype (and I want to give him every chance to be), he will still be garnering support like this 8 years from now. There's no reason to rush the man into office before we actually know anything about him other than cliches, and a perceived (but not established) set of liberal views.
